I remember 1998 when i had Kidney failure , a beautiful young nurse said " im sorry but i have to give you a quick internal check " Wish i could have done the same to her !! I looked at her hands and they were ever so delicate and remember thinking they look nice and small , i wonder if she wants check if the front parts work as well ? She got me on the examination table and said " Can you lie on your side on the table and put your knees up to your chest please " Next thing the curtains opened for a second and this Black man mountain Doctor walked in with hands like a feckin East German Goalkeeper , his friggin fingers were like cucumbers , " You may feel a slight discomfort sir " NOW THAT WAS THE BIGGEST UNDERSTATEMENT EVER

Couldn't be bothered finding the thread myself @chas so I'll just answer here. I do rather like the looks of the Daytona, there is something in it's lines that doesn't need any fancy graphics it's just squat and menacing and has to be one of the few bike's that I think looks good in yellow although the Blue is rather fetching. I wouldn't mind an early Fireblade myself to be honest as, although I am not generally a Honda fan and tend to prefer Suzuki when it comes to Oriental Iron the original Blade is undeniably a Super Bike and a Superbike. Knew a few folks who rode them back in the nineties and they were nuts without feeling nuts in the saddle. For my money the Urban Street Tiger was the best finish and I was horrified when my mate traded his in for the new model of the time which was the red and white one with the dayglo yellow and blue. I think it was the 1996 model.

My brother bought himself one of those little VFR400R jobbies when he followed all his boy racer mates out of the cars and onto two wheels and his buddy was behind him on his Fireblade. The brother balked at zipping out onto a roundabout but his pal behind him didn't realise he had decided not to go and dropped the clutch going straight into my brothers rear end from just a few feet away. Brother and VFR were launched into the air and Fireblade just came to a stop with no damage. Very stable indeed.
I've always erred toward Suzuki as my GS550 was the very first bike I owned that didn't break. My aircooled 1100 and subsequent Gixxer were fantastic bikes. I too have shied away from Hondas (although I've owned a fair few) as A) I'm not 'The nicest people' and B) I had a 500T for a while.
Build and engineering on the early blades is spot on, unfortunately they're attracting 'classic' money these days.
I don't think you'd go far wrong with a Daytona, you know the lump, they're well built. Maybe not the sharpest track tool but I doubt whether it would be a money pit either.
I'd have a word with Bad Billy (and others here) about Aprillia, they seem to turn up in the 'affordable' range but I know tit all about them.

I was hoping that the lockdown would be lifted by end of March, but they are pushing back on lifting it by the end of April :mad: FFS!! :mad::mad:

What a load of inept, useless, arrogant, ignorant, out of touch TWATS we have running our country! :mad:

We will have a summer gap - May - July then I reckon August will be another lockdown.

I think they'll stretch this one out but I think even if there was any argument for another later in the year it wouldn't be adhered to and be functionally pointless.
Although I evidently do not visit a barber with any regularity ;) I truly feel sorry for poor sods who are locked out of making a living.

The Police will have a job & a half on their hands Scrappy.
Only a tiny % of uber law abiding folk will tow the line until the end of April.

So far, I have been going along with the lockdown. But everytime I do go out for groceries nothing much seems to have changed.
The roads are 90+% as busy as they always were. The supermarket is approx 80% as busy as it always is.

I wouldn't want the job of stopping drivers & deciding if their journey warranted a fine.
My trip to buy groceries last week was totally legitimate. But if I'd actually been going to a mates house for a cuppa & I'd been pulled over by the Cops.
I'd have said I was heading to the supermarket. And if necessary I'd have driven there with the Cops following to verify my story.
In other words, how the f#ck can the lockdown be enforced?
Even if you got out on your bike. All you need is a carrier bag stuffed inside your jacket & a bungee net on the rear seat (or a sexy topbox 😉) If you're pulled over it'll be down to the Cops to prove you're not nipping to the shops.
I reckon that if you stay local (ish), you'll be fine.

@chas I kind of consider Aprillia bad luck, or at least, the RS-V as I have known more people who did, or came close to, killing themselves on RS-V's than any other machine. One guy was minding his own business and a car came round the bend on the wrong side of the road, killed him instantly although the driver was a French surgeon and the passenger was an anaesthetist and they brought him back to life every time he died until the ambulance arrived and, a couple of years later he made a reasonable recover although he broke every bone in his body and his face had to be reconstructed from the inside. Another dude I knew went into the back of a car while travelling at an estimated 130mph+ and spent a year in hospital.

If you're prescribed drugs you can't be arsed to take a devious person may take a full packet of their prescribed BP meds/Viagra/ FatBastardStatins with them that they've just 'collected'.

Not that I in any way condone such action. I was just illustrating to our squeaky clean membership how a devious person may operate.

In that case, I'm surprised you don't cross the road if you see one. I'm not supersticious but neither do I pull the tigers tail.

I will be lifting lockdown on the first dry, mild day. Someone needs to take a stand against this Orwellian situation.
